Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Uranus is the only planet whose equator is nearly at a right angle to its orbit, with a tilt of 97.77 degrees – possibly the result of a collision with an Earth-sized object long ago. This unique tilt causes the most extreme seasons in the solar system.
Detailed explanation-2: -Uranus must have toppled over some time in the past, and astronomers now think they know why. An ancient migrating moon from Uranus’ past might be responsible for the ice giant’s odd spin axis, according to new research.
Detailed explanation-3: -∴ Venus and Uranus are the planets that rotate from east to west.
